I love your videos, I’m working all the time on improving my parcel to try making it the best wildlife destination around. I’m getting there slowly but surely
Thank you...man I really hope it's all helping for you!
Thank you for always putting out top notch videos. Northeastern Mi here and I've got 2 monster bucks on state land learning from you! I appreciate you and prayers for your health!
Thanks a lot Andre...man...that's awesome on MI land too 😊 Happy for you!
South Alabama here. These videos have helped me develop My first 40 acre project.
We took a very good area and made it Great,with your plots,screening,mock scrapes,getting sun to the ground in open timber, and Habitat improvements. Mowed winter rye and remaining brassica and fall greens last week. 3 year old switch is 8" and coming on strong. Noticed this seasons frost seeded switch has started to germinate yesterday!
Love this stuff..thanks man!
I got 10 acers with a creek on it, is it still worth putting a water hole?
It depends on if the deer are bedded dry, and if it is dry in the way to their afternoon food source...
Thanks Jeff, I enjoy hearing other options
As you know, diabetes is such an insidious disease that vigilance and management are priorities. I'm glad you're doing that and staying on top of it for your long-term health, especially your eye care.
Question: Would you ever establish and maintain a food plot in a location that's really difficult to get to (basically no access without spooking deer) just to pull deer from remote public property to establish a pattern that directs deer to your other food plots? Or would you just expect deer to establish a pattern to your other food plots with access to stands, etc.?
My favorite word, Premium ! 💪💪💪
Always very informative, i am improving the property every year with your concepts, just going to take little longer than i like cause of the little home time i have with my job but it is working
Not a criticism, I live in the hills 1900ftside hill , fingerlakes region of NYS. Winters easily -10 to -20 on a NW stiff winds. I started planting Chinese trees years ago. Then chestnut hill chestnuts. I have 24 trees. Half producing age , nieghbors with producing trees. Great for early bow.
Now I was given a deer candy persimmon 3rd year it started producing. I have native and Meyers as well. It bothers me when told things won't grow I have many things that won't grow producing great for many, many years.
Kiwi, persimmon, mulberry, hazelnuts, peaches etc, etc...
Love the channel, just needed to clarify.
Right ! There's big stands of chestnuts in Zoar Valley 👍🏻
In my experience water can certainly attract deer. I hunt a property with a duck pond, when we have very hot and dry years the pond dries up right down to the dirt. On years where there is no pond I see a lot less deer than years where we have the pond.
Really glad your eye is getting better. To be honest I don't have money to put in food plots but I love learning from your videos and you've always seemed genuine in your beliefs so I'd hate to see something bad happen to you so keep up the work on keeping yourself healthy buddy.
Great advice and solid video as always Jeff.
Another beneficial video. Great explanation of being a “herd influencer.” I have followed many of your “hints/tactics” with great success over the past 3 years, and I am ecstatic to harvest the 150 - 160 class bucks, thanks to you all. However, I must say I did harvest 184 gross buck in 2020, I’m just not sure my heart can handle it again. LOL
With your No till process, do you fertilize your buckwheat and also your fall plantings?
I have a question. I drive by on with my golf cart a group of 5 doe bedded in a very small circle area I have set aside for bedding daily like clock work. They do not care I am there and don't even get up. Does this mean that those 5 doe are not pregnant? Don't they try to get away off on their own to drop fawns? Central Wisconsin.
It's really hard to tell with does in general...they don't care about you driving by a lot of the time anyways... pregnant or not. Mature bucks of course a different story
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 so pregnant does and even if they dropped their fawns will all still bed together? I guess that was my question.
Sir, what do you do to protect yourself from ticks, giggers and other insects from attacking you when in the field during the growing seasons? I have had Lyme Disease 3 times and now where protective barrier clothing designed just for that reason. Cris
What are you planting around your waterholes so you dont have mud. Installed 2 300gallon water holes on fifty acres that I just bought
I went to put up my stand the other day I put it on as tight as possible it's very wobble should I use it still
Hi Dylan...tough call without being there. I know some depend on the type of tree too...be careful and use your hanger harnesses!
Have you looked into seeing if a pancreas transplant would work for you and the diabetes?
First
I think so?!
